FAQ
What happens during the procedure?
Most fat grafting is performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Jones makes a few small incisions, usually in the abdomen or inner thigh, to collect fat, then purifies it using the PureGraft® system. This gentle, selective process washes and filters the fat, removing more than 97% of fluids, free lipids, blood cells, and other contaminants while preserving healthy, viable fat cells. The result is a 97% pure fat graft for predictable, consistent, long-lasting results.
The purified fat is carefully injected in multiple spots across the treatment area so it settles evenly. Bruising and swelling are normal, and most patients return to normal activities within 7–10 days.
